Sooner or later, anyone who uses any type of stopwatch needs to check that it is measuring correctly. This can be done with the help of our ‘Framtid’ program, which connects to SP’s time service to provide traceable calibration and a certified calibration certificate.
On-site calibration
We have developed a special program for calibration of ordinary stopwatches, which enables them to be calibrated on-site. The program is interactive and, on completion of successful calibration, automatically issues a calibration certificate that provides traceability back to SP and an uncertainty of measurement in accordance with EA Publication EA-4/02.
How the ‘Framtid’ program helps you
Accuracy checks or calibrations of this type can be relatively expensive, even perhaps more than the original cost of the stopwatch itself. The ‘Framtid’ program enables the watch to be checked independently at site for a very low cost.
At present, the cost of the actual program is free. The only cost is for the telephone call to SP’s computer time service or for an Internet subscription.
Calibration certificate
Using the ‘Framtid’ program allows you to calibrate stopwatches as often as you wish, and to receive a calibration certificate with traceable uncertainty of measurement calculations.
